Psoriasis

Psoriasis is a condition where skin cells are produced and shed off in scales or flakes too quickly resulting in thick patches of white, silver or red skin. These patches (or plaque) create increased inflammation, itching and flaking of the skin. Psoriasis patches can range in size and most often appears on the forehead, scalp, knees, elbows, lower back, hands and feet. Psoriasis is most common in adults. Whilst psoriasis is an immune-mediated disease that is not contagious, triggers that can affect flare-ups include:

Very cold or very hot climates

Stress

Dry skim

Smoking

Certain medications

Whilst the condition cannot be cured, symptoms may be easily treated for long term relief.
